A plane flying a straight course observes a mountain at a bearing of 30.3degrees to the right of its course. At that time the pl

ane is 9 kilometers from the mountain. A short time​ later, the bearing to the mountain becomes 40.3degrees. How far is the plane from the mountain when the second bearing is taken​ (to the nearest tenth of a​ km)?

Answer:

12km or 12 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following values:

For the first bearing we have:

30.3 degrees at a distance of 9 kilometers

We are asked to find the second distance of the second bearing at 40.3 degrees

Therefore, we have:

30.3 degrees = 9km

40.3 degrees = ?? Unknown( we designate this as y)

We crossmultiply

30.3 degrees × y = 9km × 40.3 degrees

Divide the both sides by 30.3 degrees

y = (9km × 40.3 degrees) ÷ 30.3 degrees

y = 362.7/30.3 degrees

y = 11.97029703 km

Approximately to the nearest tenth of a km

y = 12km.

Therefore, the distance of the plane from the mountain when the second bearing is taken​ (to the nearest tenth of a​ km) is 12km.

One day a retail store received a box of 24 shirts. If this shipment had 6 defective shirts, what can the store expect for upcom
disa [49]

Answer:

1 /4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of shirts in shipment = 24

Number of defective shirts in shipment = 6

The expectation about upcoming shipment which can be inferred from the information give is the probability of defect in upcoming shipments :

Probability of defect = Number of defect in shipment / total number of items in shipment

P(defect) = 6 /24 = 1 /4

Write the ratio of corresponding sides for the similar triangles and reduce the ratio to lowest terms.
ki77a [65]

The question is not well presented and the question also requires an attachment which is missing. See complete question below

Write the ratio of corresponding sides for the similar triangles and reduce the ratio to lowest terms.

a. 12/24 = 18/16 = ½

b. 12/18 = 16/24 = ⅔

c. 12/16 = 18/24 = ¾

d. 18/12 = 24/16 = 3/2

Answer:

c. 12/16 = 18/24 = ¾

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Two similar triangles

Required

Ratio of corresponding sides

To solve questions like this, you have to make comparisons between the similar sides of the triangle.

From the attached file,

Side PQ is similar to Side AB

And

Side QR is similar to Side BC

Also from the attached file

PQ = 12 and QR = 18

AB = 16 and BC = 24

Now, the ratio can be calculated.

Ratio = PQ/AB or QR/BC

Ratio = PQ/AB

Ratio = 12/16

Divide numerator and denominator by 4

Ratio = ¾

Or

Ratio = QR/BC

Ratio = 18/24

Divide numerator and denominator by 6

Ratio = ¾.

Combining these results

Ratio = 12/16 = 18/24 = ¾

Hence, option C is correct

which sequences are arithmetic? check all that apply. –8.6, –5.0, –1.4, 2.2, 5.8, … 2, –2.2, 2.42, –2.662, 2.9282, … 5, 1, –3, –
sergiy2304 [10]
In an arithmetic sequence, the next term is found by adding a constant term to each number to arrive at the next number. The common difference can be found by subtracting the first term from the second term.

-8.6, -5.0, -1.4, 2.2, 5.8....the common difference here is 3.6
-8.6 + 3.6 = -5.0
-5.0 + 3.6 = -1.4
1.4 + 3.6 = 2.2
2.2 + 3.6 = 5.8
so this IS an arithmetic sequence.

2,-2.2, 2.42, -2.662, 2.9282...there is no common difference..so this is not an arithmetic sequence

5,1,-3,-7,-11....common difference is -4
5 + (-4) = 1
1 + (-4) = -3
-3 + (-4) = -7
-7 + (-4) = -11
this IS an arithmetic sequence

-3,3,9,15,21...common difference is 6
-3 + 6 = 3
3 + 6 = 9
9 + 6 = 15
15 + 6 = 21
this IS an arithmetic sequence

-6.2, -3.1, -1.55, -0.775, -0.3875...this is not an arithmetic sequence

Write an equation of the line that passes through (-3,3) and is perpendicular to the line 2y=8x-6
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

y = (-1/4)x + 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

2y = 8x - 6

So, y = 4x - 3  (Slope = 4)

Slope of perpendicular line = -1/4

Equation of line:  y-3 = (-1/4)(x-(-3))

                          y-3 = (-1/4)x - 3/4

                             y = (-1/4)x + 9/4

Solve for x 6 ( x − 2 ) = 8 ( x − 9 )
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to solve for the value of x in the expression 6 ( x − 2 ) = 8 ( x − 9 )

we will first of all open the brackets and then evaluate for the value of x by combining the like terms.

from 6 ( x − 2 ) = 8 ( x − 9 )

6x -12 = 8x -72

combine the like terms

6x - 12 + 72 = 8x

-12 + 72 = 8x -6x

60 = 2x

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 2

60/2 = 2x/2

30 = x

x = 30

therefore the value of x in the expression 6 ( x − 2 ) = 8 ( x − 9 ) is equals to 30
